extreme good taste! where can I find more about your music??

Futureboogie Recordings is calling time after ten years with a 20-track compilation that sums up the sound of the lovingly curated Bristol label. From throbbing arps and noirish guitar twangs to errant analogue blips and ceaseless, rolling grooves, it’s a different sound to what you might have heard five years back on the Summer Riot IV compilation, and certainly a long way from the early days. Consider Futureboogie 10² an ode to evolution as much as a toast to all the great tracks and the family of artists that have passed through the wide-reaching Futureboogie sphere since before the label was even a sparkle in the disco ball.
 
Originally founded by Dave Harvey and Steve Nickolls, the roots of Futureboogie lie in an intimate Bristol party called Seen. Started in 2002, this open-hearted session invited the likes of Metro Area, Attica Blues, Carl Craig, Maurice Fulton, Moodymann and Gilles Peterson – based on that heavyweight list, you can see the foundations were laid for what was to come. Futureboogie evolved off the back of these parties as a many-limbed operation – an artist management and booking agency as much as a club night, with Harvey and Nickolls consolidating the sound as DJs around Bristol and beyond. The progression to a record label was a logical one.
 
When Futureboogie Recordings launched in 2011 with Julio Bashmore and Javeon McCarthy’s ‘Father Father’, it represented an extended circle of friends close to the label from Bristol’s deep pool of talent and beyond – amongst them Eats Everything, Waifs & Strays, PBR Streetgang, Behling & Simpson and Crazy P. The reach of the label grew in tandem with its reputation, not to mention the endeavours of the team in other areas of the music game. The Boogiefuturo label became a vital entity on its own terms, carrying a lauded DJ Nature remix of Typesun which encapsulates two distinct generations of Bristolian house music at its best. DJ Nature, who cut his teeth as DJ Milo in the Wild Bunch days, has gone on to become a regular feature on Futureboogie, helping define its soulful, adventurous spirit.
 
It’s also hard to separate Futureboogie from Team Love – events specialists who share some of the same management. From their flagship Love International festival in Croatia (having steered The Garden before that) to the Love Saves The Day weekend in Bristol, the Silver Hayes dance area of Glastonbury to the Waterworks festival with Percolate in London, you can see the unmistakable Futureboogie stamp across an international spread of events now. Futureboogie also hosted scores of stages at festivals across the UK on their own terms and played globally at iconic spots from Fabric in London to Salon Wilden Renate in Berlin and D Edge in Sao Paulo.
 
Sonically, Futureboogie shifted its direction at the halfway point with Fernando’s Mid Decade EP. Artists like Mark E, Felix Dickinson, Kiwi, Lauer, Ponty Mython, Ruf Dug and Toby Tobias are of course still intuitively connected with the foundations of disco and funk, but their sound teases at the edges to shape out a more inquisitive strain of house. The remixers passing through the label at this time speak volumes as well – the late, great Andrew Weatherall, Roman Flügel, I:Cube and Ivan Smagghe amongst them, every one an iconoclast within the strictures of club music.
 
So we come to Futureboogie 2020, which lands in the wake of a sterling run of 12”s from breakthrough names like Theus Mago, Zakmina, Chez de Milo and Warehouse Preservation Society. Across 20 tracks, this expansive collection celebrates the same omnivorous love of grooves which Futureboogie embodied before it even had a name. There’s a moodier, freakier strain to the sound across the compilation, but the tradition of warm, snagging party starters holds true. It’s a triumphant note to end on.

If I had words to make a day for you.
I'd sing you a morning golden and new.
I would make this day last for all time.
Give you a night deep in moonshine.

PREMIERE : Estelle Zamme - Trancey Joe

Helter Shelter 

Helter, shelter, our society is coming down fast 
Goaded by the loaded, equality ever more exploded 
Oppress the poor and crush the needy, please vote only for the greedy 

A Country divided by the dividend 
And the taxman is broken, taking mostly from those less ‘well spoken’ 
None for you nineteen for them, skim and skam, believe it man 

Net worth fabricates net result 
Rootless, roofless, ruthless, houseless 
Unplaced, unhoused, unharboured, nomadic 

Streets paved with gold, pay attention, that concepts old 
A community within a community, secluded from society 
This ain’t no Russian Doll, it’s a repeated reality 

A slum landlord lets a flat, so let’s let the light in and put out the cat 
Flick the switch 
If we work together, come together 
We can help change lives for the better, forever

One of the underground's most exciting talents to emerge in recent years is the Oslo-based production maestro Third Attempt.  With fans like Ron Trent, Art of Tones, and Bill Brewster, he’s been dextrously merging musical aesthetics that fuse trip-hop, funk, soul, and disco. Dazzling the scene with his far-reaching music since arriving at the Beatservice fold with 'Shoreline' back in 2018, since then his ever-evolving repertoire has continued to serve up immaculate sonic surprises. The 23-year-old wasting no time making his indelible mark on the scene with his impeccable ear for constructing compelling leftfield grooves, his album 'The Novel Sound' drops in May.
Opening with the rolling 'Freak Out', where dusty strings make way for vocal samples, scratches, and searing sirens over a bass-heavy groove. The mid-tempo chug of 'Age Of Steam' evolves over a crisp, club-ready rhythm, where heavy funk guitars, dancing keys and vocal stabs cascade. 'My Girl' features an irresistible disco beat, rhythm guitars and dreamy piano chords that set the scene for rousing horns to blast off into blissful summer skies. 'Nu Funk'  drops hip hop samples, tight beats, and a delectable bass, while ‘Sunbeam Symphony’s’ keyboard solo dazzles before subsiding to a dub-infused break. 'Definite' effortlessly floats through waves of thick bass, funk guitar, elegantly used samples, and laser-tight drums. 
The trip-hop 'Nightfall' enraptures as rich chords beckon, congas cascade, mysterious melodies roll, and an exotic refrain builds before the glorious lead vocal appears. 'Working Man' drifts in to fill the space with smokey drums, weighted bass, and an enigmatic whistle, like the pages of an evocative film noir. 'Greed' hides subliminal messages casting a knowing eye over the consumer-driven world we live in and self-help culture that pervades our society. Lastly, 'Last Winter Of My Childhood' transports the listener into a hallucinatory realm, with drowsy bass notes, tripped out pads and emotive strings building to a profound and rush-inducing crescendo.

tired there from work
it has been some time
moving nowhere

it's much too late to find the time
moving nowhere
i wanna feel...
